Comme des Garçons has several sneaker collaborations in the works for 2025, from refined versions of the New Balance 509 sneaker to minimalist takes on the Nike Sense 96. However, their Comme des Garçons Shirt X ASICS GEL-Lyte III design has to be the wildest sneaker collab the company is set to release this year.
A Closer Look At The Sneakers
This is the kind of design sneakerheads will either love or hate; there’s no in-between. The collaboration sees the ASICS GEL-Lyte III covered from top to bottom in a bold plaid print—a material choice that has featured in several Comme des Garçons collections over the years.
However, there are two distinct colourways of these plaid designs on offer: a subdued red, black, and white design, as well as a pair with a more vivid combination of colours. Both offer co-branding on the insoles and a touch of white CDG branding on the midsole.
The design may be louder and less versatile than the average kicks. However, that’s precisely the point. These aren’t your typical everyday sneakers; they’re made to make a statement.
Comme des Garçons Shirt X ASICS GEL-Lyte III Release Details
For anyone interested in these unique plaid-covered kicks, the Comme des Garçons collaboration is currently available on Foot District for €395 (about $430 USD). The shoes were released on April 7, 2025. However, it is unclear whether they will be offered on the ASICS website, but keep an eye out in the coming weeks for any updates on availability.
Until then, you can look forward to more unexpected partnerships this year, including the Yu-Gi-Oh! x Nike Air Max 95. And remember to follow us at Sneaker Fortress for more sneaker drops and news.
